Fire crews have left the scene of a "complex" barn fire which began in the early hours of Thursday.

Composite decking, which was plastic-based and waterproof, burned at the commercial storage unit in Norwood Hill Road, Charlwood.

Having first been called to the fire on Thursday at about 00:35 BST, crews closed the incident on Sunday morning.

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service thanked those who had helped with the "complex" fire and those nearby for their patience.

They remained on site until 22:00 to monitor using thermal image cameras.
